Yeah, they caught the guy who at first glance appears to be a psychopath who painstakingly studied crime in the months leading up to it.
He was a student at Washington State University, another school to which my kid has been admitted.
Neither of these schools were at the top of the list, and said kid has already been admitted to their “top” safety, so now it’s just a matter of whether they get into any UCs or San Diego State. I feel bad for Idaho, they’re doing a good job making the pitch.
If your kid didn’t get into the #1 safety, would these killings be a factor in the decision? Seems like a completely one-off kind of thing. But I haven’t really been following the story.
The reason to hate it is it cuts the whole fucking city from the river. Not only that you hear highway traffic 10 feet away at all points while you’re on the river. Not only that there is an interstate a half a mile south that goes the same direction! Abominable.
The reason to like it is you can put it on landfill so you don’t have to bulldoze homes. Which I have heard is terrible.
My favorite lakefront park is cut off by a heavily used freight RR. It stinks to have to wait there in the summer but for the 8 months a year when no one uses the lakefront it’s great because the trains aren’t blocking traffic.
Also, WSU keeps a couple dozen motherfucking Grizzly Bears on campus for hibernation research (with implications for human obesity), and that is way more awesome than anything U. Idaho has.
